Juan Ramón Rallo Archives - Marxist-Humanist Initiative

Zoom Meeting

     Join us (on Zoom) on July 6, from 1:00-3:00 pm EDT for our meeting: “The Unique and Unfinished Contributions of the Women’s Liberation Movement.”
     We will discuss Chapter 8 of Raya Dunayevskaya’s Rosa Luxemburg, Women’s Liberation, and Marx’s Philosophy of Revolution: “The Task that Remains to be Done: The Unique and Unfinished Contributions of Today’s Women’s Liberation Movement.”
     Amongst other things, in this chapter Dunayevskaya presents her view that one of the unique contributions of the Women’s Liberation movement was that it recognized that a truly human society would take “not just the reorganization of objective, material foundations,” but the “release of subjective personal freedom, creativity, and talents.”
     To attend, send MHI a request by July 1; state briefly why you’re interested in MHI and your location. MHI can provide a digital copy of the reading.

“Raya Dunayevskaya: Biography of an Idea”

MHI is happy to distribute this documentary film by Alex Fletcher. It explores many major concepts of the philosopher, activist, and feminist Raya Dunayevskaya, who developed Marxist-Humanism over much of the last century, up until her death in 1987. The 79-minute film contains rare video clips of her speeches and offers glimpses of material in her archives, as well as featuring interviews of 3 MHI members who belonged to Dunayevskaya’s organization during her lifetime.

Film now available here. Review and trailer here.
